    I personally don't have any favorites out of the bunch. They didn't really do anything in the movies to warrant a favorite out of the bunch. Fett I could care less about. I am tired of this guys reputation as a badass of the galaxy. His death scene is what ruined his character in the series. In AOTC he was just a kid. So I have no qualms with that. And he was barely in the film all that much. But guess what, Boba was a kid at one point, so I never understood how that was the reason he was ruined? Here is another thought to ponder. Sidious, Vader, Luke, Han, Obi Wan etc. all wore pampaers one time in there life! Does that fact ruin the "badassery"?

    It's gotta be Bossk. He's just to cool. I hope he gets a spin-off.

    Think my 1st choice is pretty obvious.

    My 2nd would be IG88. I always remember being somewhat (honestly) freaked out by the boss battle in the "Shadows of the Empire" game on N64/PC. To my knowledge, the only time you could ever face one of the 4. IG88B was in ESB, the one in the game was IG88D, if i'm right...

    The thought of having an cold, calculating heap of metal hunting you is close to what the terminator movies brought to the table. There's something scary about him. And he looks armed to the teeth as much as Boba is. Add to that his design, he's very tall... You can't recognize any face in it. It's as alien as the "sentinels" from the Matrix movies.

    Speaking of this group, "tales of the bounty hunters" is a good read if you're looking for some backstory on these guys. Although 1 of these "biographies" by todays standards is quite outdated.

    First has to be Boba Fett.

    But, when I was a kid, I thought IG-88 was soooooooo cool looking. I would have loved to see him in an action scene.

    Boba Fett destroyed IG-88 B in Tales of the Bounty Hunters.

    This could have made for a nice scene in ESB, watching Boba take out some of the competition in a nonchalant manner. Although i expect some to have said that it would've disrupted the flow of the movie and feeling out of place. For now with only this picture, we can assume it was his handywork. Especially now that "TOTBH" is a Legends book... But it still offers the most logical explanation.

    Now that i look at it... His body/prop in Cloud City is a little white in comparison, though.

    Perhaps, the concussion grenades stripped the armor of its metallic color.

    Weirdly it was Dengar. To this day I don't know why but he just looked pretty cool for the very brief time he had. Bossk also got points for his reaction to the 'we don't need these scum' line.

    Gotta love the walking spark plug.
    I love his orgin story, those his end story is pretty lame.

    He has to be in an Anthology movie. It is compulsory.

    Well Boba Fett's on the list so he pretty much has to win. But I guess he'd be closely followed by Bossk for me.

    I'd have to go with Bossk. Visually striking and as a small child watching ESB--he looked the coolest lol. Never been a Boba fan (don't get the hype). I also really dig the look and cold demeanor of IG-8. Having that skinny evil looking droid hunting you would be terrifying https://showbox.bio/ https://tutuapp.uno/....

    Gotta be Boba Fett because he actually had dialogue and a few things to do (but mostly just walked around). Bossk and IG-88 would be next.

    IG-88 would've been great if there had been the technology to make it work back then, it makes me want to see what happened when Boba ambushed him in Cloud City. Similar, Bossk's suit had limitations, the lack of dexterity with the prosthetic arms meant he couldn't even hold his gun. Such a shame but then the Tales of Bounty Hunters really made them three dimensional and gave them characters.

    Boba Fett had the biggest role of course so he should win the poll.
    That said Bossk kinda scared me as a kid. So of the bounty hunters with smaller roles I'd go Bossk.

    Anybody else grow up in the '80s thinking the droid was Zuckuss and the alien was 4-LOM?

    We pretty much all did no thanks to the incorrect name put on the Kenner card back. It does make sense as 4-LOM is a droids name.
    I'll never forget one of my first auctions won on Ebay was for a large vintage figure lot with Boba Fett only the creep kept Boba. Can't say I blame him.
